I fell down, down, downInto this dark and lonely holeThere was no one there to care about me anymoreAnd I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edgeYou were sitting there holding a rope

And we’ll go up, up, upBut I’ll fly a little higherGo up in the clouds because the view is a little nicerUp here my dearIt won’t be long now, it won’t be long now

When we get back on landWell I’ll never get my chanceBe ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my handsAnd maybe someday we’ll take a little rideGo up, up, up and everything will be just fine

And we’ll go up, up, upBut I’ll fly a little higherGo up in the clouds because the view is a little nicerUp here my dear

It won’t be long now, it won’t be long nowIf only I had a little bit more timeIf only I had a little bit more time with you

It could go up, up, upThen take that little rideWe'll sit there holding handsAnd everything would be just rightAnd maybe someday I’ll see you againWe’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end

We’ll go up, up, upBut I’ll fly a little higherGo up in the clouds because the view is a little nicerUp here my dearIt won’t be long now, it won’t be long now
